Features to know about

Haul What You Need Without Hassle: Class III Strength and 2" Receiver

This hitch is ready for everyday use, whether you're towing a small trailer, pulling a camper, or carrying bikes and cargo. With a maximum gross trailer weight of 4,000 lbs and a tongue weight of 600 lbs, it’s built to handle light to moderate towing jobs. The 2" x 2" receiver opening works with most ball mounts, bike racks, and cargo carriers you already own, so you can switch between accessories without extra adapters.

Built to Last Through the Elements: Durable Matte Black Finish

The steel body is protected by a matte black powder coat finish over a protective base layer for superior rust resistance. Unlike glossy coatings that show every mark, this matte finish hides scuffs, dirt, and dings for a cleaner look even after plenty of road time. The carbide-like texture gives it a rugged style while keeping corrosion at bay in any weather.

Simple Install in Your Own Garage: Bolt-On Design, No Welding Required

You don’t need special tools or a lift to get this hitch mounted. It bolts directly to the vehicle frame using the included hardware kit, so there’s no welding or complicated modifications involved. The precision robotic welding ensures everything lines up right out of the box, making DIY installation straightforward even in a driveway setup.

Keep It Clean Under the Bumper: Concealed Cross Tube Design

This hitch keeps a low profile once installed thanks to its concealed cross tube. Only the receiver is visible under the bumper, giving you that clean OEM-style look without sacrificing strength or utility. It’s the kind of design that blends in until you’re ready to hook up your gear and hit the road.

This fully welded trailer hitch receiver bolts onto your vehicle's frame with no welding required. Matte black, powder coated steel is durable and corrosion resistant and creates a rugged look.

by:

Easy to install — note that there are two types of bolts that have different threads. The directions show this. Once we figured that out it went quickly!



by:

One end of hitch broke through the box, but was not harmed. Installation completed by myself with jack stands. Fit was perfect - no issues. Seems very robust. Good hardware. Have not tried the wiring harness yet, but don't expect any issues.



by:

Excellent customer service matched my needs perfectly! I would recommend them to anyone searching for a great hitch/ bike rack.



by:

perfect fit, easy installation



by:

Dealer quoted me $1500 to install a hitch receiver. This model was made to fit my car, which was predrilled. I used my car jack to hold up the receiver and once I got it lined up, I was able to finger screw in bolts on both sides. I rented a torch wrench and was done in less than an hour. It worked out great.



by:

Fit absolutely perfect and installed ea sily.



by:

Easy to install and the mounting holes all lined up perfectly. Biggest issue was getting my big head under there. I jacked the rear up on stationary jacks and used a small car jack to hold up the hitch while I installed the bolts. Install was completed in under 30 minutes.
I live in an oceanfront home and this hitch is still rust-free too!



by:

Great product - works great on our 2018 Acura RDX. Not too hard to install but you will want to have at least 2 people. I would suggest checking and cleaning mounting holes before ordering. I was not sure I was going to get the holes cleared enough to screw in the bolts. I used a combination of WD40, wire drill brushes, and a thread chaser. I eventually got it done but it took some time and patience. Laying on the ground and getting the torque required was harder than I thought it would be - need to have a good, and long, torque wrench. In the end all is well - Works great with my Thule T2 Pro XTR bike rack - solid as can be.



by:

The hitch was easy to install, and the provided hardware bolted up exactly as advertised.



by:

Fit perfect and only to minutes to inst all



by:

This was the third hitch I've purchased from etrailer. The hitch, installation instructions and hardware all arrived in a timely fashion and in good condition. The other hitches we purchased I installed myself but this one I had my mechanic install because it involved dropping the exhaust and I didn't feel comfortable doing it at my age. We use it regularly for mounting a bike rack for our ebikes with no issues.



by:

No issues with the hitch but the fine threads on the vehicle required chasing. Rust is a problem in Minnesota.



by:

I bought this trailer hitch that was made to fit my RDX . It was an easy install and fit perfectly ! I have used on 3 800 mile round trips carrying my e-bike safety . I highly recommend them !



by:

Easy installation and should work well for bike rack



by:

Well built great service



by:

Great product with Five services and quick shipping.



by:

It’s a very sturdy, low-profile trailer hitch. Good price and exactly as advertised. Easy DIY kit.



by:

What an awesome experience. If only all companies operated like etrailer.com! Delivered quickly and securely, really clear directions, all parts/pieces included, perfect fit. Easy to install - just ratcheted down bolts on one side, then worked the other. Torqued everything to specs once finished. Looks great. Excited to use!



by:

Highly recommend, the durability is of great quality



by:

Hitch arrived on time. Welds were neat and powder coating looked great. Holes lined up perfectly with the frame holes on my Accura RDX. Had to clean the welded nut on the Accura frame since it had rusted a bit. Use WD 40 or some lube as suggested in the instructions until you can get the bolt to thread easily before you mount the hitch. Now I can mount a bike rack.



by:

Trailer hitch is great. Had some trouble installing due to rusty holes that needed retapped. Also my torque wrench couldn’t be used on 2 of the screws due to obstructions. Just ran it up to my mechanic and he got them tightened properly.



by:

The hitch was as expected.
Fit was good
installation was easy.



by:

No way to mount the wiring bracket without buying another $50 bracket that looks like [crap]!



by:

I have installed a few hitches in my life and I have to say this was one of the best fit and straight forward installs ever. It lined up nicely and tucked in behind the bumper with minimal exposure. It was well built and looked capable of handling more than my vehicle can tow.



by:

Excellent hitch. Installation was fairly simple. Holes aligned well with my RDX. Only issue was having difficulty getting the machine thread bolts to start, but a wire brush in the weld bits in the frame with WD40 did the trick. The bracket for the plastic cowling also created some minor difficulty but both of those items could t be blamed on the hitch.

Brian, thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review! I'm glad to hear the hitch fit your RDX well and that the installation went smoothly overall. Thanks for sharing the tips about cleaning the weld nuts and working around the plastic cowl. I also appreciate you including a picture. Your installation looks great! What do you plan on using the hitch for?

  • Installation Video for etrailer Hitch on 2016 Acura RDX
    Hey Luis! I went ahead and attached an installation video further down on this page for a 2017 Acura RDX. This is with the Curt # C13130 but it shares the same design as our etrailer # e24AR so the steps are the same. What will you be using the hitch for?

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2016 Acura RDX
    The 3 hitches you asked about for your 2016 Acura RDX have the following weights when it comes to shipping: etrailer - # e24AR - 27 lbs Curt - # C13130 - 28 lbs Draw-Tite - # 75784 - 29 lbs The actual weight of the hitches is going to be a few pounds less since the shipping weight includes shipping materials. These are all going to have the exact same installation process and since the weight is all comparable it really boils down to preference. For your application I recommend going...

  • Recommended Hitch for a Bike Rack on a 2013 Acura RDX
    To install a hitch, for a bike rack, on your 2013 Acura RDX, I recommend the etrailer Hitch item # e24AR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Acura with included hardware. This is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. You'll want the 2" receiver because it will give you the most options for a bike rack and a higher capacity incase you are transporting heavier e-bikes. I really like the etrailer Hitch item # e24AR because the main crosstube mounts behind your rear bumper. This leaves...

  • Distance From Ground To Inside Top of Receiver on etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver For 2017 Acura RDX
    The distance from the ground to the inside top of the receiver for the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e24AR is 12-1/2". I have attached an image below showing this measurement on the Curt # C13130. The etrailer hitch is identical with the exception of the matte black powder coat finish. Since it sounds like you plan on towing, you will also want wiring. For the most reliable option I recommend the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118569. This plugs into...

  • Recommended 2" Hitch for a 2015 Acura RDX and Installation Process
    Yes, the etrailer Hitch item # e24AR has an similar if not the same installation method as the Curt Trailer Hitch item # C12083. This hitch is confirmed to fit your 2015 Acura RDX. I have linked an installation video below for the Curt Trailer Hitch item # C13130 which will have an identical installation process as the etrailer item # e24AR. I have also linked the instructions. If you are planning on towing you will also need a wiring harness item # 118569 and a ball mount kit item # C45534.

  • Is Drilling Needed to Install etrailer Trailer Hitch on 2018 Acura RDX
    You do not; absolutely no drilling is required on your 2018 Acura RDX to install the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e24AR. I also wanted to add, if you going to be using this hitch for towing you will need a 4-way, with the correct fit for your '18 RDX being the Vehicle Wiring Harness # 56008.

  • Recommended Bike Rack For Hauling 4 Bikes On A 2014 Acura RDX
    Yes, both the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e24AR and Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13130 would be a fit for your 2014 Acura RDX. Since you're limited on capacity the Hollywood Racks Destination Bike Rack for 4 Bikes # HR4000 would be a great option to haul 4 bikes. This hitch mounted bike rack weighs approximately 47lbs and can handle up to 35lbs per bike. It has straps at each wheel cradle and padded clamps on towers in the middle of the rack to clamp on to the frame of the bikes...

  • Roof Rack Kayak Carrier and Hitch Recommendation 2017 Acura RDX
    For your 2017 Acura RDX that has a naked roof the roof rack I would recommend is the Rhino Rack part # RRVA137B-2, # RRRLKVA, # DK337 as it's a nicer rack that doesn't have quite as high of a price tag as other options. Then for a kayak carrier the etrailer part # e98878 would work really well. Then for a hitch our highest capacity option that is mostly hidden the etrailer hitch part # e24AR would work really well.
